jonjos··on Hot chillies might be good for us
I am a Christian from Kerala but I think the below temples are the most visited in Kerala. I wouldn't know deep about the reasons on why they are popular.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabarimala (This one is famous for the seasonal pilgrimage)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadakkunnathan_Temple (350 years old, famous for the architecture)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guruvayur_Temple (A lot of people gets married in this temple)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padmanabhaswamy_Temple

(Now famous for the recent discovery of huge gold stash)

To visit these temples, you would start your trip from Thrissur district all the way down south to Trivandrum district. All of the places near to the temple has got 3 star hotels for stay and all the cities are easily accessible by train except Sabarimala. Almost everyone in Kerala can satisfactorily converse in English and all routes and signs are written in English too. Kerala is a tourist friendly state.

Speaking about the medicinal values of Chilli -

In the southern states of India especially Kerala, a home remedy for cuts & bruises is to apply a paste made by grinding green chilly (Bird's eye chilli) and salt. Though it will have a painful burning sensation for sometime, this home remedy is found to heal the cut faster without any infection.

> the food just got wonderfully hot and wow there are all of sudden a lot of churches

implies that you might have visited the green south Indian state called Kerala. Kerala is also called the Spice Garden of India (or maybe the world).

Happy to shamelessly and contextually plug my native land Kerala Tourism's website here if anyone wants to visit the land of spices.
